Novel finding of aldehyde in 2-oxoaldehyde (2OA) is presented as it unprecedentedly disinclines to react with Grignard reagents but reacts with moderate organocuprate reagents in anaerobic condition to give [1,2] addition (α-hydroxyketones) reaction. In the presence of air, the reaction produces an efficient protocol for the synthesis of 1,2-diones through a copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reaction at room temperature. Mechanistic studies indicate that α-hydroxy ketone perhaps is generated before the hydrolysis step/acid work-up process. The α-keto group of 2OA causes to exhibit this peculiar aldehyde behavior toward these organometallic reagents.

Methylglyoxal (MG) is a natural metabolite derived from glycolysis, and this 2-oxoaldehyde has been implicated in some diseases including diabetes. However, the physiological significance of MG for cellular functions is yet to be fully elucidated. We previously reported that MG activates the Mpk1 (MAPK) cascade in the yeast To gain further insights into the cellular functions and responses to MG, we herein screened yeast-deletion mutant collections for susceptibility to MG.

The O-molecule initiated degradation of three 2-alkenals (E)-2-heptenal, (E)-2-octenal, and (E)-2-nonenal has been investigated in a 1080 L quartz-glass environmental chamber at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of synthetic air using in situ FTIR spectroscopy to monitor the reactants and products. The experiments were performed in the absence of an OH scavenger. The molar yields of the primary products formed were glyoxal (49 ± 4) % and pentanal (34 ± 3) % from the reaction of (E)-2-heptenal with O, glyoxal (41 ± 3) % and hexanal (39 ± 3) % from the reaction of (E)-2-octenal with O, and glyoxal (45 ± 3) % and heptanal (46 ± 3) % from the reaction of (E)-2-nonenal with O.

Methylglyoxal is a typical 2-oxoaldehyde derived from glycolysis. We show here that methylglyoxal activates the Pkc1-Mpk1 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade in a target of rapamycin complex 2 (TORC2)-dependent manner in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We demonstrate that TORC2 phosphorylates Pkc1 at Thr(1125) and Ser(1143).

A three-component reaction of a 2-aminoazine, a 2-oxoaldehyde, and a cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compound providing access toward a novel class of imidazo[1,2-a]azine derivatives was developed and studied. The scope of the process was thoroughly explored under three different reaction conditions resulting in the generation of a small library of title compounds and highlighting the possibility of case-specific approach.
